Could be done via SMS. For some odd reason SMS isn't data, as evidenced by it being paid for independently. Could concievably have the phone relay a position every so often to a phone number which could parse the info and plot it. I think something of this sort already exists. I recall some app where you could send your location to a friend's phone and it would plot your position on a map to help get some visual reference.
